Summary: This study aimed to synthesize and characterize a magnetic drug carrier modified with terbium (III) ions. The addition of terbium extends its applications for targeted anticancer radiotherapy and imaging techniques using different radiation types. Iron oxide nanoparticles stabilized with citrates were synthesized and used to create a conjugate containing terbium ions and guanosine-5 '-monophosphate analog. The conjugates and their components were characterized using various analysis methods.

Summary: The composition of Langmuir monolayers, specifically the relative concentration of cholesterol, plays a crucial role in modulating the effects of the antineoplastic drug paclitaxel. The dependence on cholesterol concentration for these monolayers simulating lipid rafts is non-monotonic, affecting surface pressure and compressibility modulus differently. The physiological action of paclitaxel may vary depending on its interaction with membrane penetration or membrane elasticity changes.

Summary: Certain supramolecular motifs, such as Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) macrocycles, exhibit affinities comparable to well-known biological interactions. By modifying cells with CB[7] constructed from a polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer scaffold, guest-linked drugs can be delivered to the cell membrane, offering potential applications in biomedicine. This approach has the potential to be used for in situ imaging, modulation of cell-based therapies, or the construction of synthetic supramolecular recognition axis on the cell membrane.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) on the interaction between the drug doxorubicin (DOX) and cell membranes. The results showed that the lipid composition plays a crucial role in this interaction, and that the presence of CYP3A4 significantly reduces the effect of DOX on the cell membranes. These findings support the idea that CYP3A4 is involved in drug resistance and suggest potential strategies to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Summary: Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used over the counter medications, but can cause serious digestive side effects. This study investigated the effects of chitosan on reducing the undesirable effects of one NSAID, naproxen. The results showed that naproxen altered the mechanical and electrical properties of a model biological membrane, but the addition of chitosan suppressed some of these changes while also modifying the properties of the layer.

Summary: Langmuir monolayers are widely used to study the involvement of lipid membranes in physiological processes. Many studies focus on the pressure-bearing capacity of these monolayers and the different phases they go through during compression. While the behavior of monolayers in the liquid expanded phase can be described by known state equations, their nonlinear behavior in the condensed region is still not well understood. In this study, a macroscopic approach is used to investigate the material stability of lipid monolayers and identify the conditions that lead to the formation of shear bands. A new constitutive strategy, based on a hyperfoam hyperelastic potential, is introduced to model the nonlinear response of monolayers during densification. The obtained mechanical properties and strain energy successfully reproduce the onset of shear banding observed in lipid systems under different conditions.

Summary: The study demonstrated strong interactions between 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OH) and sphingolipids, leading to the formation of surface complexes. Different orientations of 25-OH were observed in complexes with ganglioside (GM(1)) and sphingomyelin (SM). The similar strength of interactions between sphingolipids and 25-OH compared to cholesterol suggests potential replacement of cholesterol by oxysterol in lipid raft systems.

Summary: Advancements in nanogel applications require precise control over their size, structure, and functionalization. In this work, a post-synthesis reaction strategy was developed to modify the structure and functionalization of thermoresponsive nanogels. The incorporation of a cleavable crosslinker allows control over the crosslinking degree and architecture of the nanogels, and introduces alpha-oxoaldehydes for subsequent bio-conjugation. This strategy provides a valuable tool for fine-tuning drug delivery nanodevices in a post-synthetic step.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
